Trivia The song that Alan (Robin Williams) sings while shaving in the bathroom is the theme to Gilligan's Island (1964). See more » Goofs At different points during the movie after Alan is released from Jumanji his knowledge/awareness of the fact that Judy & Peter have started playing the game changes. First after examining his bedroom after 26 years, Judy & Peter walk in and Alan asks them who rolled a 5 or an 8?

To which Judy tells him that Peter did. So obviously Alan is aware at this point in the film that the kids have found the game Jumanji and have played it to the point where they had finally released him. Later, he is still fully aware that Judy & Peter have played the game because before the mosquito tries to attack them in the car, Alan asks them "What came out of the game before me?" Then when it comes down to the moment where it looks like it's only going to be Judy, Peter & Alan playing the game, with Alan acting only as an observer and Judy's piece won't move after rolling the dice 2 times; Alan observes the game board and notices that 2 of the pieces belong to Judy & Peter and then asks "Who are the other pieces?" FIRST QUESTION: How does he not remember playing the game 26 years ago? Since it was him playing the game/rolling the dice & reading the clue that got him sucked into the board game in the first place. Yet, right after remembering that the elephant piece was his, he says to Judy & Peter that "You're playing the game I started playing in 1969". Well, Of course they are, Alan.

That's how the kids got you out of the game in the first place. Then only after Judy tries handing him the dice so he can take his turn, does Alan suddenly remember who the other game piece belongs to, yet just a minute ago in the film he questioned who the 2 other pieces belonged to (His/Sarah's) Just seems like one minute he remembers the clue he read before being sucked into the game, but yet forgets his own game piece being the elephant and Sarah being the other piece aside from Judy's & Peter's. And it also seems like one minute he knows & is aware that Judy & Peter have started playing the game thus the reason why he (Alan) is now finally released from the game after 26 years, but yet is so shocked & surprised when he realizes (after remembering his elephant game piece) that Judy & Peter have started playing the game that he started in 1969.

See more » Connections Courtesy of Chrysalis Records, a division of EMI Under license from CEMA Special Markets (Tunbridge Wells, England) – See all my reviews In 1969, in a small town in New Hampshire, a twelve-year-old boy named Alan Parrish finds a Victorian-era board game called "Jumanji", and starts to play it with his friend Sarah. What the children do not realise, however, is that the game has strange, mysterious powers, and when Alan's token lands on a particular square he is suddenly sucked into the game. Unsurprisingly traumatised by the disappearance of her friend, Sarah runs out of the house shrieking, leaving the game unfinished. Twenty-six years later two more children, Peter and Judy, orphaned by the death of their parents in a car crash, move into the former Parrish family home with their Aunt Nora.

They find the old Jumanji set and start playing the game; when Peter rolls a five Alan suddenly reappears, now a grown man. He explains to them that he has been trapped inside the game for the last twenty-six years and that they must now finish the game which he and Sarah started. This, however, is easier said than done. Not only must the children find Sarah and persuade her to take part, they must also cope with the magical effects of the game. Each roll of the dice results in strange happenings in keeping with the game's jungle adventure theme; animals such as lions, monkeys, elephants and rhinoceroses suddenly materialise and proceed to wreak havoc in the town. Just as deadly is a white hunter named Van Pelt who will take pot-shots at anything that moves, animal or human. The big-name star in this film is Robin Williams, although it also features a young Kirsten Dunst, later to become a big name herself. This isn't Williams' best role- I generally prefer him in his more serious films like "Dead Poet's Society" or "Good Morning, Vietnam"- but it's a lot better than many of his comedies, which can descend into either silliness or sentimentality.

This is the sort of family film that offers something to entertain the adults as well as the children, and has some underlying serious themes. The main theme is that of courage and of confronting one's fears; the horrors unleashed by the game can (if one is in a particularly serious, analytic frame of mind) be seen as symbolic of the problems that the characters need to overcome. Although (or perhaps because) he is from a wealthy, privileged family, the young Alan is a shy, lonely boy who finds it difficult to make friends and who is neglected by his cold, distant parents. Nevertheless, he does win his father's approval when he finds the courage to stand up to a gang of bullies who have been tormenting him. There is doubtless some Freudian significance in the fact that Alan's father and the murderous Van Pelt are played by the same actor. Children, of course, could not care less about Freudian symbolism and are generally allergic to underlying serious themes. When I was a child the one thing that would kill a book or a film stone dead for me was the suspicion that it was being used by the adult world to preach some morally improving message to me. (C.S.

Lewis was a particular bête noire of mine after an intellectually precocious classmate, who even at the age of nine cherished the long-term ambition to become Archbishop of Canterbury, pointed out to me the Christian allegory behind the "Narnia" stories). Fortunately, any moralising in "Jumanji" is fairly light, and I suspect that children will simply see it as an exciting adventure story, even if the final twist in the tale involves the intellectually difficult concept of "alternative timelines". The special effects used to create the scenes of the rampaging animals seem to have aroused some excitement when the film first came out, although thirteen years on they have a rather retro, nineties feel to them. (And from the point of view of today's techno-literate youngsters the 1990s probably seem only slightly less technologically backward than the 1890s). 7/10 7 of 8 people found this review helpful.

Yes Jumanji Reviews & Ratings - IMDb IMDb 128 out of 153 people found the following review useful: Maybe The Best Ever For Just Pure Entertainment from United States 17 February 2006 Among the thousands of films I have viewed, this movie would rank near the top for sheer entertainment. That's not saying it's the best-made or most intelligent or scariest or funniest or features the best effects, etc. etc. But combine all those and you have a film that's tough to beat when you're looking for 100 minutes of escapist fun. The film features some wild computer-enhanced special effects that were new to its day, but now about 10 years later, it's no big deal. In fact, some of it, such as the lion, look pretty hokey compared to the stuff that's out there now. To me, it was story that was the lure, anyway, not the special effects. Because it's so much fun, this is one of the fastest-moving films I've ever viewed. The time flies by. It's not to be analyzed or given much thought, because it's so ludicrous.

You just go along for the wild ride in this fantasy-adventure and get a bunch of laughs and thrills along the way. That's one of the big attractions of this of film: the excellent combination of adventure and comedy. Are there annoying things in this movie? Sure. To me, it was Bonnie Hunt's occult beliefs and too many OMGs and the overdone character of the hunter (Jonathan Hyde). Other than that, I loved the film the first I saw it and every time afterward. I've probably viewed this movie as much as any, simply because it was so entertaining. Robin Williams, David Alan Grier and the two kids, Kristen Dunst and Bradley Pierce, were all great people to watch and share this adventure with. Now THIS is entertainment! from Maryland, USA 9 August 1999 There is only one way to describe Jumanji: excellent. The plot is very, original, with outstanding concepts packed into each individual scene. After viewing this movie, the wild side of the jungle gets into you, making you want to dare to play the game.

Although the computer animation may not look all that real, I still give this movie a 10/10, for an outstanding plot, casting, and spirit, which any great movie has.

I always wanted to see the movie again, and I finally did that today. Strange that this movie has alway been on top of my mind... This movie is amazing! It has everything; comedy, love, adventure.

Was the above review useful to you? 58 out of 67 people found the following review useful: Jumanji  a timeless adventure story 12 September 2005 *** This review may contain spoilers *** There are few children's movies that I particularly enjoyed  I can recount The Borrowers, Labyrinth and The Neverending Story.

Jumanji, however takes a new place among children's films  in fact, it may seem that initially, Jumanji is about simplistic story about kids playing a board game. Based on a gorgeous picture book story of the same name by Chris Van Allsberg, this movie takes a beautiful magical adventure and makes it into a thrill ride that defies all natural laws. Time travel, physical transformations, perceptual distortions and multiple universes are just a few of the things that Jumanji toys with. The most evident phenomena is that the characters run in two different and parallel universes, one where Jumanji exists, and the other where it is just a dream. The life of Judy and Peter as orphans exists in a different world from the one where Jumanji doesn't exist  in other words, Jumanji is a catalyst of fate, an evil entity that does not bring about awe as it did in Allsberg's book, but fear. The world that Allen Parrish is doomed to be incarcerated in the jungles of Jumanji is another one, but that period of time is nonexistent in the world he will eventually live in.

This is the beauty of the movie; that these characters can only allow their trauma and epiphanies to cross worlds. With each roll of the dice, the characters grow and change. The ending with 'Jumanji' is mark of the end of that universe  everything that the jungle world had yielded, from the colonist-hunter Van Pelt to the roaring stampede and the monkeys had to return, to be sealed into the game and the universe. The game controls life; but it is merciful when played to the end without cheating. The mental agony and pain must have been tremendous for the Parrishes. Presumably, Alan spent his twenty six years in the jungle, but returned to his old self only to again relive his life as if it never happened. The temporal distortion must have presumably had an effect on his parents, although only Sarah seems to notice. (She was playing the game  and only those playing are directly affected, but in the game universe of Judy and Peter we see a problem in the movie's understanding of temporal change) The power of fate in deciding the endgame was critical in the film. It seems that the game was in itself a game of a game; it was all planned out and ready to go.

In fact, it also seems that no matter how crazy or perilous the situation is, the characters cannot be killed. Even Van Pelt says at the Sir Sav A Lot that "I am hunting only Alan. I won't kill you, since you didn't roll" He too is bound to the rules of the game, no matter how much of a colonialist he is. The game instills a high level of fear without death, in order for the game to continue, all the characters must be present. So in one way, no one need be scared of anything in the game. Instead, the game builds resilience in the characters. It was natural that in the end the end was initiated by the future; or more appropriately the past. At the end, both Sarah and Alan make up for the trouble they have caused and have a life bond from the experience. The jumping between 1994 and 1964 is a critical aspect where we see that the horrors of the game have allowed Judy and Peter's parents to not die in the ski accident.

They are oddly willing to put an end to their vacation when they hardly know the Parrishes "In the jungle, you must wait, until you roll a five or eight"  Jumanji "Roll a two, roll a four, but never ask for more"  Gautam RATING: 10/10 (amazing) from Portland, Oregon, USA 14 October 2005 You know the drill: young Alan Parrish gets sucked into a board game called Jumanji, returns when a brother and sister are playing 26 years later, and has to battle the animals that wreak havoc on the town. It all seems pretty simple, but they play some neat tricks with it in the movie. As the adult Alan, Robin Williams is more subdued than usual, but still makes the character admirable. With good support from Bonnie Hunt, Kirsten Dunst, David Alan Grier, Bebe Neuwirth, Jonathan Hyde and Patricia Clarkson, this is a pretty interesting movie. I will admit that the monkeys looked pretty fake, but we can't dwell on that in this movie; the point is to enjoy oneself while watching it.

Oh and one more thing: from "Jumanji", I learned the difference between alligators and crocodiles. Was the above review useful to you? 43 out of 52 people found the following review useful: Action and adventure for the kids, and Robin Williams for the adults from United States 1 September 2003 Find a comfortable chair, lay out the board, grab the dice, and get ready to play. But remember: once you start this game, you can't stop. If it takes you over twenty years to finish, finish you must. "Jumanji" is loosely based on the Caldecott Medal-winning children's book by Chris Van Allsburg. The basic premise stays the same: a sister and brother find a strange game based on a jungle safari adventure. When they begin playing it, they find they cannot stop, for the characters and events of the game come to life and start filling their house with monkeys, lions, explorers and other strange things. Only finishing the game will make it all go away. In the hands of Hollywood, more story is added.

Now we have a game spanning 26 years, when one of the two children playing the game in 1969 gets sucked into the game itself. He's trapped there until a fresh pair of children in 1995 find the game and begin playing. The right number is rolled, and out Alan comes...as Robin Williams! Finding the grown girl to complete the group, the four must complete the game before their town is destroyed by the stampeding rhinos, killer pod vines and crazed Great White Hunter. Robin has some good moments in this film, though he isn't allowed to riff as much as in other vehicles. He's supported by an excellent cast, including a young Kirsten Dunst as the sister of the new pair of children; Jonathan Hyde as both the 1969 father and Van Pelt, the Great White Hunter from the game; and Bebe Neuwirth as the modern children's aunt. The effects are, not surprisingly, ILM-excellent -- necessary in a film of this type.

The script was co-written by Van Allsburg to insure the atmosphere of the film and book mesh, but he did not fall into the "This is MY baby" syndrome, and received good help from his two co-writers (for details, see the main page). Highly recommended for old and young alike.

The plot of the story involves a young boy named Alan Parrish who in the 1960's finds a supernatural board game, that was buried underground in the 1800's. Alan is instantly drawn into playing the game, and Sarah-a girl who lives close to him- also joins in the game. After the powers of the game transport young Alan into the jungles of the board game, no one believes Sarah's story of what happened, and everyone suspects foul play.

Now in 1995, a girl named Judy (Kirsten Dunst) and her younger brother Peter have been drawn into the game after finding it in the attic of the old Parrish house. When they play however, Alan (Robin Williams) is released from the jungle accidentally when one of the kids rolls a certain number on the dice. Now, with the powers and creatures of Jumanji released, they must finish the game. But to do so, they must find Sarah (Bonnie Hunt), because now it is her turn to roll the dice. After finding her, they must hurry before the town they live in is destroyed and before they all die! Jumanji is great family film, packed with - at the time - great graphics (that now look like a computer game). While some hate this film for being too terrifying for young children, people have forgotten what the rating PG means-PARENTAL GUIDANCE-NOT all ages. So with this in mind guidance is suggested for scary scenes, but I think any child over 3 can enjoy this film. It has no gore or attacks really.

Sure, there're some mildly scary scenes, but look at Harry Potter  I think more kids I heard of thought that was scary than Jumanji. Another great thing about Jumanji, is that like Shrek and such films, adults can enjoy it as well. It's not one of those films where you have to suffer through, like many movies coming out today. I think movies like Jumanji are the best of their kind. The acting was great, and Robin Williams is perfect for the role of Alan Parrish, and Bonnie Hunt and him had good chemistry. Kirsten Dunst in this film was further shaping her acting career, to appear in such films now like 'Spider-Man' and the teen movie 'Bring It On.' I honestly forget the name of the kid who plays Judy's brother Peter, but he was okay. I don't think he was great though. Okay, but not great. I doubt as he gets older he'll get a film career much past his teen years. So if you want some good, family fun seeing a movie, rent Jumanji.

And remember, PG = Parental Guidance, not All Ages, so do use discretion is your kids don't like mild terror, but I doubt you'll have to, especially on video (I'll admit the theater added some more terror). It's not as terrifying as Ebert stated in his review. With all the movies he's seen, I think he's way off mark. He compared Jumanji to being as suitable as Jaws was for children, but big news Ebert, Jaws WAS rated PG. Anyway, I hate when people think of Jumanji as a 'should be PG-13' because it's not. It's great family fun with loads of laughs, jungle animals and creatures, and just plain hilariousness! 4/5 stars. I loved Jumanji, and I DEFINITELY recommend it to families. Was the above review useful to you? 32 out of 37 people found the following review useful: A fun and adventure filled film fit for the whole family! from Chicago, Illinois 29 November 2003 I just used to love "Jumanji" as a kid. This was what was Oscar worthy to me, because I loved the special effects and Robin Williams.

Even though I think I over did it with the Oscar worthy thoughts, still to this day I enjoy "Jumanji". It's a great family film that will make you feel good and have fun with. Robin Williams plays Alan, a boy who when he was little and had a horrible fight with his father plays a game with his friend, Sarah, and the game happens to be cursed causing Alan to get sucked into the game until someone else plays it. Sarah freaking out by just what happened runs home and no one believes her leaving Alan behind for decades in the game. When a new family moves in, Judy and Peter and their Aunt Nora, they find the game and start playing and release Alan who has just survived decades in a jungle. When they realize that they must finish the game to make the horrible curses it brings go away, they find Sarah who is now the town loony, and must play it 'til they finish. But can they do that with all the spiders, elephants, lions, tsunami, vines, stampedes, and an angry hunter? You'll just have to wait and see. This is a great movie for the family and I'd highly recommend it for a good watch.

It's just a fun fill adventure with great effects and some fun performances by Robin and Bonnie and a very young Kirsten Dunst. So sit back, grab the popcorn, and enjoy "Jumanji"! 8/10 Was the above review useful to you? 32 out of 42 people found the following review useful: Incredible ! 11 December 2001 *** This review may contain spoilers *** I love this movie ! Robin Williams, Kirsten Dunst, Bebe Neuwirth and the animal special effects are incredible. My only complaint is that no attempt was to explain the strange origins of the game as possibly a game that is cursed or an artifact left in our world by the African gods. There are several other plot points that are never answered: why keep returning to the house, and if they know the game is dangerous, why lose it with the pieces included so someone else can play it. I think I'd be leaving the dice and pieces as far away from each other as possible. The whole time-traveling/ renewed time line effect is a minor problem in the plot as is why that hunter wants to kill Daniel(Robin) in the first place.

The computerized animal effects are made to act like real animals both charming and mischievous and sinister. The slow degradation of the Parrish house into a jungle and gradually the whole town is a remarkable effect, quite possibly the most elaborate for any movie.

Alan Parrish is a rich boy and his family were the founders of the city of New England, where the boy and his family lives. Not only that, his father is a businessman who has lots of deals and one of them is the notable shoe factory. But Alan life is not so good as we think: he is having problems with her best friend Sarah's boyfriend and his gang and his father wants to send him to a boarding school. Angry, he says to his father that he is never going to talk to him again and will ran away from his home.

But when Alan was going to scape from his house, his friend Sarah goes to his house to talk, and they end up playing the mysterious game called Jumanji that Alan found buried. The strange game starts, and many strange things like wild animals start to show up, until Alan enter the game and be confined there until the results of the dice be 5 or 8. Sarah, too afraid to continue playing,run away. After 26 years,two brothers named Judy and Peter found the game and start playing it, like Sarah and Alan 26 years ago. Peter takes 5 in the dice, what makes Alan turn back after many years. Now they need to finish the game in order to all the horrible results end, but first Alan needs to find Sarah and convince her to play the spooky game again. Was the above review useful to you? Page 1 of 16: Jumanji | Jumanji Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Edit In 1869, two boys bury a chest in a forest near Keene, New Hampshire .

A century later in 1969, 12-year-old Alan Parrish flees from a gang of bullies to a shoe factory owned by his father, Sam, where he meets his oldest friend Carl Bentley, one of Sam's employees. When Alan accidentally damages a machine with a prototype sneaker Carl hopes to present, Carl takes the blame and loses his job. Outside the factory, after the bullies beat Alan up and steal his bicycle, Alan follows the sound of tribal drumbeats to a construction site and finds the chest, containing a board game called Jumanji. Alan takes the game home and attempts to run away after having an argument with his father about attending a boarding school. However, his friend Sarah Whittle gives his bike back. The two begin playing Jumanji, which acts strangely: When a player rolls the dice, the player's piece moves itself and a message appears on the board. When Alan makes his first move, he is sucked into the game. Although the message states that he will be freed when a five or an eight is rolled, Sarah quits the game after being attacked by bats.

Twenty-six years later in 1995, Judy and Peter Shepherd move into the Parrish house with their Aunt Nora after losing their parents in a skiing accident. Judy and Peter hear Jumanji's drumbeats and play the game in the attic, and as a result, giant mosquitoes attack them, and reddish-orange monkeys destroy their kitchen. Realizing that everything will be restored when the game ends, they continue the game despite the danger. Peter rolls a five, releasing both a lion and Alan, who is now an adult. Alan locks the lion in a bedroom, then goes to the now closed shoe factory. On the way, he meets Carl, working as a police officer, and discovers that the town's economy was devastated by the factory's closure. In the factory, a homeless man reveals that Sam abandoned the business to search for his son until his death in 1991. After Sam's death, his wife and Alan's mother Carol-Anne continued the search until her own death. Alan joins the game with Judy and Peter, but when rolling the dice has no effect on the board, Alan realizes they are continuing the game he and Sarah started years ago.

Finding Sarah, now a psychic who had gone insane after Alan's disappearance, Alan tricks her into rejoining the game and the following moves release man-eating vines from a giant flower, a big-game hunter named Van Pelt who is intent on killing Alan as he is a product of the game itself and largely inspired by Sam Parrish, and an animal stampede (rhinoceros, African elephants, zebras and pelicans). Among other things, Peter transforms into a monkey after trying to cheat while Alan is taken away by Carl and Carl soon recognizes Alan; Peter, Sarah and Judy battle Van Pelt in a local department store; a monsoon floods the house; a crocodile attacks the group; Alan is sucked into the floor by quicksand; an earthquake breaks the house in two; large poisonous spiders come out and Judy is shot by a poisonous barb from a flower. Finally, Alan wins the game just in time when Van Pelt is about to shoot him, causing all jungle elements (including Van Pelt) to be sucked back into the board in a form of a whirlwind.

After that, Alan and Sarah suddenly find themselves back in 1969 again, once again children, but with full knowledge of their lives after they started playing. Alan reconciles with and admits to his father that he was the one who damaged the machine. Carl gets his job back, and Sam allows his son to attend a local school if he wishes to do so. Alan becomes terrified, thinking that Judy and Peter are still in the attic, but Sarah reminds him that it's 1969, before Judy and Peter are even born. Sarah hands their game tokens to Alan as a way of showing that they were never in the game. Alan and Sarah chain up the Jumanji board and throw it into a river. Later in 1995, Alan and Sarah are married and expecting for their first child. Alan has taken over the shoe business, Carl still works in the factory as the plant supervisor, and Sam is retired, but still alive along with his wife. Judy, Peter, and their parents meet with Alan and Sarah at a Christmas party, where Alan and Sarah offer the children's father a job in the shoe company and discourage them from going on the ski trip that would have killed them.

Meanwhile, two French-speaking young girls hear drumbeats as they walk along a beach, and we see the Jumanji board half-buried in the sand.

Jumanji Review 1995 | Movie Review | Contactmusic.com Jumanji Review By Christopher Null If nothing else, Jumanji is the most unfortunately titled film of the year. And if you haven't turned on your television in the last month you may still be among the few who don't know what it means. For the uninitiated, Jumanji is an ancient board game set in the spooky jungle. When the game is played, it causes supernatural things to happen, including the creation of a horde of monkeys, earthquakes, a monsoon (indoors), and a stampede through the suburbs of the New England town in which Jumanji is set. The story begins some 26 years earlier, when young Alan ( Robin Williams ) and Sarah ( Bonnie Hunt ) unearth the game and start playing.

On Alan's first move, he finds himself sucked into the game as a prisoner, only to be released when the game is continued in 1995 by Judy ( Kirsten Dunst ) and Peter (Bradley Michael Pierce). Unfortunately, the ill effects of the game disappear only when it is finished, so the three track down Sarah, who, after years of therapy, has finally come to grips with the shock of seeing Alan vanish, and they continue where they left off. The rest of the film unfurls the wacky effects the game has on the players and the town, until the climactic conclusion is reached. Unfortunately, along the way, the film fails miserably at building up any semblance of suspense (it's pretty obvious how this thing is going to end), and relies on melodrama to try to make us care about the characters, resulting in a sloppy, over-dramatic plot that doesn't really get going for half an hour. Even the precocious kids are basically annoying. While much of the film is funny and pleasant to watch, the overall result is a middling success.

But you don't go to a movie like this for the gripping plot, and everyone's question is, "How are the effects?" Well, they're not so great. Compared to the groundbreaking Toy Story, Jumanji looks downright embarrassing. Few of the computer-generated animals, especially the plastic-looking monkeys, come across as even remotely realistic, although the filmmakers really seem to have tried their best. Apparently, the technology just isn't ready yet. In the end, Jumanji looks like it wanted to be the next Roger Rabbit--a semi-animated film for the whole family. But in taking things too seriously, the movie lacks that ingenious, eye-opening "spark" that's absolutely critical here, and it ends up being another film that's basically just for kids.

Facts and Figures Jumanji [Blu-ray] [1995] [Region Free]: Amazon.co.uk: Robin Williams, Kirsten Dunst, David Alan Grier, Adam Hann-Byrd, Bonnie Hunt, Joe Johnston: DVD & Blu-ray Product Description Product Description When young Alan Parrish discovers a mysterious board game, he doesn’t realize its unimaginable powers, until he is magically transported before the eyes of his friend, Sarah, into the untamed jungles of JUMANJI! 26 years later he is freed from the game’s spell by two unsuspecting children. Alan (ROBIN WILLIAMS) reunites with Sarah (BONNIE HUNT) and together with Judy (KIRSTEN DUNST) and Peter (BRADLEY PIERCE) tries to outwit the game’s powerful forces in this imaginative adventure that combines breathtaking special effects with an enchanting mixture of comedy, magic and thrills. From Amazon.co.uk After the success of Jurassic Park in 1993, the floodgates opened for digital special effects, and Jumanji is nothing if not a showcase for computer-generated creepiness guaranteed to give young children a nightmare or two.

Whether that was the filmmakers' intention is up for debate, since this is a PG-rated adventure revolving around a mysterious board game that unleashes a terrifying jungle world upon its players, including gigantic spiders, huge mosquitoes, a stampede of rhinos, elephants, and every other jungle beast you can imagine. Robin Williams plays a man-child who's been trapped in the world of "Jumanji" for 26 years until he's freed by two kids who've discovered the game and released its parade of dangerous horrors. A chaotic and misguided attempt at family entertainment, the movie does offer a few good laughs, and the effects are frequently impressive, if not entirely convincing to the eye. --Jeff Shannon --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

'Jumanji' reboot in development - NME NME 12:28 pm - Jul 20, 2012 0shares Columbia Pictures plans to 'reimagine' the 1995 fantasy movie and 'update it for the present' Columbia Pictures is planning a reboot of Jumanji, the studio’s president has revealed. The original film, released in 1995, centred around a supernatural board game that makes wild animals and other jungle hazards appear as the players roll the dice. It was based upon an 1981 fantasy book of the same name by author Chris Van Allsburg. Among the players in the original film was a young Kirsten Dunst, just 13 at the time, while Robin Williams starred as a man who emerges from the game’s magical jungle world. Bonnie Hunt, Patricia Clarkson and Bebe Neuwirth also appeared in key roles. The movie performed well at the box office, grossing more than $260 million (£167 million) worldwide, but no sequel was ever made. However, Columbia Pictures is now planning to revive the idea.

During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter , studio president Doug Berngrad revealed: “We’re going to try and reimagine Jumanji and update it for the present.” In the same interview, Berngrad confirmed plans for a sequel to 21 Jump Street, the hit action comedy starring Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill that was released earlier this year (2012). “Yes, we plan to start shooting next fall,” he said of the follow-up. Berngrad also revealed that a new Men In Black movie is in the works following the success of the third instalment earlier this year.

Jumanji Jumanji | Moviepedia | Fandom powered by Wikia Jumanji by Chris Van Allsburg Jumanji is a 1995 American fantasy adventure film about a supernatural board game that makes wild animals and other jungle hazards materialize upon each player's move.

It was directed by Joe Johnston and is based on Chris Van Allsburg's popular 1981 picture book of the same name. The special effects were provided by Industrial Light & Magic in computer graphics, and Amalgamated Dynamics with animatronics. The film stars Robin Williams, Kirsten Dunst, Bradley Pierce, Bonnie Hunt, David Alan Grier, Bebe Neuwirth and Jonathan Hyde. It was shot in Keene, New Hampshire, where the story is set, North Berwick, Maine (the Parrish Shoes factory) and Vancouver, British Columbia. In 2005, a spiritual sequel to Jumanji, Zathura , was released. Contents Spoiler warning: The following contains plot details about the entire movie. In 1869, two boys bury a chest in a forest near Keene, New Hampshire. A century later, 12-year-old Alan Parrish rides his bike around town. When he past an old statue of an apparent relative, a group of bullies appear and chased him down. He escapes the bullies to hide in a shoe factory owned by his father, Samuel Parrish. At the factory, he meets his friend Carl Bentley, one of Sam's employees.

Carl showed Alan a new prototype sneaker he hopes to present to Alan's father and wants to put out on the market. Sam confronts his son, realized Alan's problems and told him to go home. When Alan accidentally damages a machine after placing the shoe on its conveyor belt, Sam fired Carl, thinking he sabotaged the machine. Carl only admitted to making the shoe that destroyed the machine. Outside the factory, after the bullies beat Alan up and steal his bicycle, Alan follows the sound of tribal drumbeats to a construction site and finds the chest, containing a board game called Jumanji. Alan takes the game home and took a closer look at the game. He just took two of its playing pieces, which were shaped like animals out (one was an elephant and the other was a rhino) when his mother Carol came home. The two pieces mysteriously placed themselves on their starting spaces when Alan dropped them. When Alan came to his mother, Carol noticed some bleeding on his lower lip and treated it. Later that night, Alan attempts to run away after having an argument with his father about attending a boarding school. However, his friend Sarah Whittle gives his bike back.

After Sarah heard the drumbeats, the two begin playing Jumanji, which acts strangely: When a player rolls the dice, the player's piece moves itself and a message appears on the board. It even confuses dice drops with official rolls. When Alan makes his first move, he is horrifically sucked into the game, terrifying Sarah. Although the message states that he will be freed when a five or an eight is rolled, Sarah abandons the game after being attacked by bats. Twenty-six years later, Judy and Peter Shepherd move into the Parrish house with their Aunt Nora after their parents Jim & Martha Shepherd in a car crash during a skiing trip in Canada. Judy and Peter hear Jumanji's drumbeats, traced them to the attic, found the game and started to play the game in the attic. Judy played the game first and giant mosquitoes attack them. Peter played second and reddish-orange monkeys destroy their kitchen. Realizing that the game says that everything will be restored when the game ends, they continue the game despite the danger. Since Peter rolled doubles, he plays again. Peter rolls a five, releasing both a lion and Alan, who is now an adult.

Alan locks the lion in a bedroom and realizes that he has returned to the real world. Alan saw Judy & Peter, asked them who rolled a five or an eight. Judy mentions it was Peter and Alan chases & hugs Peter in excitement. Alan runs around the house calling for his parents, but he realizes that they aren't there. Then he goes to the now closed shoe factory. On the way, he meets Carl, who now works as a police officer (he's been in the service since 1974) and clearly disliking his job and discovers that the town's economy was devastated by the factory's closure. In the factory, Alan sees a homeless man and he reveals that Sam abandoned the business to search for his son until his death in 1991. After Sam's death, his wife and Alan's mother Carol-Anne continued the search until her own death that same year. Judy & Peter continuously persuades Alan to play with them, but he continuously refuses. Eventually, Alan joins the game with Judy and Peter.

Judy rolls again, thinking that it's her turn again, but when her rolling the dice has no effect on the board, Alan realizes they are continuing the same game that he and Sarah started years ago. They find Sarah at her home. She is now a faux-psychic who has turned into a recluse after being shunned by town, which refused to believe her story about what happened to Alan, and was traumatized by his disappearance. Alan tricks her into rejoining the game and her following move releases fast-growing vines and a giant deadly man-eating "pod". After dealing with the pod and vines, Alan rolls and a big-game hunter named Van Pelt (resembling Alan's father) who is intent on killing Alan emerges as he is a product of the game itself. On Judy's next turn, a stampede (rhinoceros, African elephants, zebras and pelican) wrecks the house. Later, Alan was suddenly arrested by Carl and Peter gradually transforms into a monkey after trying to cheat. Peter, Sarah and Judy then battle Van Pelt in a local discount department store, but were then saved by Alan when he broke through the front windows in Carl's car.

Then a monsoon floods the house and two crocodiles attack the group. Alan is sucked into the floor by quicksand, but was then rescued by Judy on her next turn. Finally, an earthquake breaks the house in two. The game was about to end as Alan takes what turns out to be his final turn when Van Pelt appears again is about to shoot him. Van Pelt orders Alan to drop the dice; one of them got away, but stops on the number Alan needs to reach the end. Alan wins the game just in time and his victory causes the jungle elements and Van Pelt to be sucked back into the board in a form of a whirlwind. Alan and Sarah then find themselves back in 1969 again as children, but with full memories of their lives after they started playing. Next, Alan sees his father briefly Sam return home as he forgot his speech notes and that gives Alan a chance to reconcile with his father and admits his responsibility for damaging the machine in the plant. Carl gets his job back and Sam allows his son to attend a local school if he wishes to do so.

Alan then becomes terrified, thinking that Judy and Peter are still in the attic, but Sarah reminds him that it's 1969, meaning that Judy and Peter are not even born yet. Sarah gives their game tokens to Alan as a way of showing that they were never in the game. The two chain up the Jumanji board and throw it into a river. Sarah then kisses Alan and they begin a romantic relationship. In the present day, Alan and Sarah are married and expecting for their first child. Alan has taken over the shoe business, Carl still works in the factory as the plant supervisor and Sam is retired, but still alive. Judy, Peter and their parents meet with Alan and Sarah at a Christmas party where Alan and Sarah offer the children's father a job in the shoe company and discourage them from taking a flight to their ski trip that killed them in the previous timeline. At a beach in another part of the Earth, two French-speaking young girls hear drumbeats while walking, unaware that the Jumanji board is half-buried in the sand.
